Walsall have sacked manager Kevan Broadhurst following the club's relegation to League Two.

Saturday's 3-1 home defeat against Huddersfield confirmed the Saddlers' second relegation in three years.

Broadhurst took over in February, following the departure of Paul Merson, but the Saddlers had a disastrous run of eight games without a victory.

Walsall's experienced midfielder Mark Kinsella will take charge of the final two games of the season.

A statement on the club's official website confirmed Broadhurst's departure, adding: "The board of directors felt that with relegation confirmed, in fairness to both the club and Kevan Broadhurst, the time was right to terminate the appointment.
